The Board consists of 12 members nominated by various government and non-government organisations in the education sector, outlined in section 7 of the Teacher Registration (Northern Territory) Act 2004. This ensures that the Board represent a breadth of knowledge and experience from the education sector. Additionally, it is intentionally composed for diversity in gender, geographical locations, and cultural identities. As positions on the Board are statutory in nature, members are bound to exercise their duties independently, without acting on behalf of the organisation which nominated them.
